I hate that unwritten rule of acting that says big bodybuilders that can act can't get leading men parts or anything except silent bodyguards and bouncers. As long as the guy has acting ability huge size and condition shouldn't detract from the part especially if he's playing a hit man for the mafia, murderer, criminal, loan shark, etc. Watch the movie "Be Cool" to see what I mean. If John Travolta in "Get Shorty" had a bodybuilders physique it would add to the part by making him look more intimidating since he's playing a loan shark who has to often fight. Why is it OK for a lead actor to be fat or scrawny?

OMG...I gotta just say... I am just now reading through all of the posts, as I've not posted here in years and am catching up on all the dirt over the CT/ KR mess..

McFarland and 240 crack me up beyond belief!!!!

The "Saving Ryan's Privates" and the "Bobby and Whitney of Bodybuilding"... I seriously nearly lost it!Great humor, guys.

Hey, I saw someone else refer to John Romano... What is that ugly p.o.s. loser doing these days? Blechman still sliding a kosher dog up his a$s in exchange for witless bb rhetoric? Or is he creating another science experiment in a petrie dish and calling it a girlfriend?

i'm totally shocked. i was surfing cable and see greta van susteren and the "it must have been steroids" toting legal posse, and what can i say. i was in the company of total non body builders and they couldnt understand why i was in shock during this news schnippet and after. it didnt make the aussie news at all.
